French Lessons with a University of Sheffield Educator for All Levels

The Student and Tutor practiced conjugating French sentences into the Passé Composé, focusing on auxiliary verb selection, irregular past participles, and negative constructions. They also discussed the nuances of similar verbs like 'rencontrer' and 'partir'. For homework, the Student was assigned translation exercises into French, and future lessons were scheduled to cover speaking practice and reflexive verbs in the Passé Composé.

Student and Tutor continued their French lesson by reviewing 'faire' phrases and learning about RE-verb conjugations. They practiced conjugating 'attendre', 'comprendre', and 'prendre', and worked on sentence translation exercises focusing on proper verb usage, possessive adjectives, and gender agreement. Homework was assigned to learn verb conjugations and pronouns, and to complete translations using the verb 'mettre'.

Student and Tutor had an introductory French lesson focusing on hobbies vocabulary and sentence translation. They practiced translating sentences from English to French, with the Tutor providing feedback on grammar and vocabulary. The session concluded with a discussion about scheduling future lessons and tailoring content to the Student's specific learning needs, including reviewing homework or specific grammatical concepts.

The Student and Tutor worked on French vocabulary and grammar related to losing items and reporting them in a hotel context. They translated and practiced a dialogue about a lost phone, introducing new verbs like 'perdre' and 'oublier' (in the sense of leaving something). The session concluded with free-flow conversation practice about holidays and travel, and the next session will focus on the 'Passé Composé' grammar.

The Student and Tutor practiced translating and understanding a French dialogue focused on making plans with friends. They covered various French phrases for greetings, asking about availability, suggesting activities, and discussing preferences. The session also introduced and clarified several grammatical concepts, including the conditional tense and the 'venir de' construction. The Tutor outlined future lesson plans, which include finishing the current dialogue, reviewing the passé composé, and then dedicating more time to the conditional tense after a holiday.

The Student and Tutor focused on French language practice, specifically translating a restaurant menu and role-playing a restaurant dialogue. They reviewed extensive vocabulary for food items, meal courses, and ordering phrases. Grammar points like contractions and formal/informal address were also integrated. The next session will cover making plans with friends, a hotel room dialogue, and an in-depth review of modal verbs (`pouvoir`, `vouloir`, `devoir`) and numbers from 30 onwards.
